Samsung Galaxy A (2017) more “premium”, with flagowymi functions [First impressions] – Gazeta.pl

the First smartphones from the Galaxy A (2015) was introduced in late 2014. First they tore with plastic housings international time by consumers as “cheap to the touch” – because he was completely made of metal. In last year’s phones Galaxy A (2016) Koreans put, however, on the glass.

In the presented models, in line with forecasts (and trends) of the material remained the same, the case is, however, somewhat improved, so the smartphone is pleasant to use. It is, however, not all Galaxy (2017) brings more innovations, taken directly from last year’s flagowców.

build Quality and screen

just like its predecessors, the Galaxy A3 and A5 (2017) was placed on a glass body and metallic edges. This time the glass at the edges of the back of the case quite clearly zagięto that raises a little bit the usability of the phone.

Arrangement of buttons on the edges remained the same, had, however, the speaker in the long edge of the phone above the Power button. The SIM card slot and MicroSD (up to 256GB) were found in this time on the upper edge of the device.

we have 2.5 D glass, the same as the previous generation. In addition, it was decided to use the Always On Display already known from the Galaxy Note 7. Due to the fact that when your phone is locked, the screen displays, for example, the current time, calendar or notice.

remained unchanged for the size and resolution of screens. This is a panel Super AMOLED with a diagonal of 4.7 inches and HD resolution (Galaxy A3) and 5.2 inch Full HD (Galaxy A5).

Galaxy A3 and A5 is the first waterproof smartphone in the history of this series. We’ve got the IP68 certificate which means that the device can be submerged for 30 minutes at a depth of 1.5 meters. So we can safely say that the decisions from flagowców Samsung first appeared in the middle of the level.

Quality performance – as well as in phones of the previous generation is at a high level. Smartphones are well in hand and, despite the additions, in particular, the seals don’t seem harder. The minimal increase in size and weight is seen only in a table with detailed information.

One of the most interesting changes, however, the alignment of the camera lens with the surface of the rear panel, which in the A3 and A5 in 2016 pretty much stick out. Therefore, we see that Samsung listens to its customers, who has repeatedly called for changes in this matter. This resulted not only in a slightly better appearance, but also the stability of the machine while it is facing up.

Last year the series had a camera with a resolution of 13 MP rear and 5 MP front. Large changes are visible primarily in the Galaxy A5 (2017). However, no decision has been made on the use of dual cameras with the rear and use the same 16 megapixel matrix, the main and the front camera with the same resolution.

Galaxy A3 we have 13 MP rear and 8 MP in the camera located above the screen. Both phone has become therefore more environmentally-selfie lovers. In addition, changes await us in the camera app. There was, for example, liquid shutter button that can be placed anywhere on the screen.
